Preds Golden Hall Chairman David Poile announced today that Nashville Predators advisor and former head coach and general manager Barry Trotz will be inducted into the Preds Golden Hall as the sole member of the Class of 2026.
First coach in Nashville history returns home to team in transition.
He’s still very much a free man. But it sounds like it won’t be for much longer.
Barry Trotz — the biggest name and best resume on the NHL coaching market, as has been the case since the spring — had no interest in coaching the Vancouver Canucks.
Barry Trotz is considered by many to be the best coach not actively employed by an NHL team and the former Stanley Cup winner has some ideas on where he may end up next.
Trotz is calling from Dauphin, Manitoba where he grew up about four hours northwest of Winnipeg. “It’s basically been a five-month road trip…”.
Last night, Islanders coach, Barry Trotz passed a pretty impressive milestone. He won his 900th career game behind the bench as a coach. He is one of only three coaches to accomplish that task as he shares the company with Joel Quenneville and Scotty Bowman.
Jon Cooper named head coach, will work alongside Cassidy, DeBoer and Trotz
Barry Trotz is regarded as one of the finest coaches in the NHL. Some regret that the New York Rangers made David Quinn their head coach in 2018, instead of waiting and snatching up Trotz when he left the Stanley Cup champion Washington Capitals.
When Barry Trotz’s Washington Capitals knocked out Jon Cooper’s Tampa Bay Lightning on the way to the Stanley Cup in 2018, the two coaches talked that summer about how it all went down.
There aren’t many coaches who have a profound understanding of their players, extensive knowledge of the game and an ability to implement a winning team culture wherever they go.
